they are pretty hard to come by. Apparently Sun only made them for a short
period of time because of the marketing push for SPARC architecture. The
3/470 in some cases apparently ran faster than the 4/100 that Sun was
pushing. The 3/470 was codenamed "Pegasus" apparently. A friend found a
few a while back, but will not even THINK of parting with them. He may
have more info tho if people are interested.
